Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 614
byA rhomboid spaceship flew through the dark void.
On the ship.
Good Duck followed Dragon Lady, being introduced to one important figure after another.
“You’re definitely going to be a superstar, I have high hopes for you.”
A man in a splendid robe nodded and smiled at Good Duck.
After witnessing Good Duck’s ability to “elevate one skill level”—
The man immediately displayed a warm and affable smile.
“Hahaha, right? I knew it could do it!”
Dragon Lady also laughed.
Good Duck gazed at the man’s robe, adorned with various magical gems, and bowed in return.
“I will continue to work hard and strive to live up to everyone’s expectations.”
Good Duck said.
The man thought for a moment, then took out a treasure box from his懷 and tucked it into Good Duck’s arms.
“Very spirited! Take this; don’t be polite with me.”
“This—it’s too valuable.”
“If I tell you to take it, then take it!”
“…As you command.”
Good Duck shyly lowered its head and tucked the treasure box deep into its wings.
—Every important person it met gave it a gift, which made it feel uneasy!
The future seemed bright?
Dragon Lady led it back.
Good Duck secretly glanced at Dragon Lady, whose face was radiant, seemingly very happy.
Seizing the moment.
Good Duck quietly asked, “Milady, we are—”
“Still calling me milady?” Dragon Lady chided.
“…Dear sister, why are we going to the dream world?” Good Duck asked innocently.
Dragon Lady hesitated slightly, then transmitted telepathically:
“It’s fine to tell you, but you must not speak of it, otherwise, even I won’t be able to save you.”
“Don’t worry, sister, my lips are sealed,” Good Duck promised.
“Listen closely, among our Dawn Breakers, there’s a powerful figure, Ulrich, the King of Dreams.”
“What! Such a renowned figure is one of us!”
“Exactly. Not long ago, he encountered an assassination attempt, but thankfully, it’s over, and he’s awake again.”
“This time, we’re gathering in the dream world to follow his command.”
“Then—what are we to do?” Good Duck asked.
“It should be to reconsider forming an alliance with the thirteen Destruction Overlords. This is an extremely crucial matter!” Dragon Lady said.
Good Duck suddenly understood.
Old John had indeed controlled Ulrich, the King of Dreams.
With Old John’s death—
The powerful figure among the Dawn Breakers, Ulrich, had returned to normal, and he was beginning to act.
There must be many twists and secrets in this matter.
Going with Dragon Lady now would allow it to uncover the conspiracy between dreams and destruction.
These were all natural developments.
It just needed to follow Dragon Lady.
However.
There was one small matter—
“Dear sister, did you say something wrong?”
“Where did I go wrong?”
“I remember there were twelve Destruction Overlords,” Good Duck chuckled.
“Ha,” Dragon Lady laughed, shaking her head, “You’re still too inexperienced. Everyone in the myriad realms knows there are thirteen Destruction Overlords.”
“—Don’t make such common mistakes in the future; people will laugh at you.”
Good Duck was stunned.
Thirteen?
…That doesn’t sound right.
I personally stayed in the destruction faction for a while.
Those Destruction Overlords also said there were twelve!
Good Duck couldn’t help but use its entropy points to exchange for information about the Destruction Overlords.
A message immediately came from the Emblem of Entropy:
“From the dawn of history, when the Great Tribulation of Destruction attacked the Eternal World and broke through the barrier of truth.”
“It was divided into thirteen Destruction Overlords.”
It’s thirteen Overlords!
How is that possible?
…I clearly remember it being twelve!
Wait.
Wait a minute—
Good Duck suddenly realized.
Could it be that history had gone awry?
—Because of its actions in history, everything had already changed!
But.
Why was there an extra Destruction Overlord?
…
Millions of years ago.
The Pale World.
Dark flames blazed around the longsword.
Rumble—
The entire summoning circle exploded, and chaotic energy scattered.
In the void.
One after another, law-based monsters began to appear.
—As soon as they appeared, they charged straight towards Xiao Mengyu.
“Go!”
Shen Ye shouted, rushing forward, unleashing streaks of blade energy.
—World-Shattering Slash!
The entire world became blurry and indistinct.
Eerie sounds converged from all directions, as if the void was filled with the roars of strange monsters.
This was the cry of the blade.
Countless laws were summoned by the blade’s edge, dividing the void into dense, parallel worlds.
With this immense power, the laws emitted conscious cries.
They were almost merging into one!
It was an unprecedented blade technique!
The surrounding monsters were suppressed by the laws, freezing in place.
This single strike.
Shen Ye used his full power.
—The monsters had to wait for the battles in the parallel worlds to end before they could return to normal.
“Teacher, send her back!”
Shen Ye shouted.
Xiao Mengyu shimmered, but remained as she was, still unable to move.
What’s going on!
Her current state concerned all of humanity, yet she couldn’t return?
Saint Mage Celine cried out anxiously:
“She can’t go back!”
“That’s right,” King of Hearts interjected, “the entire Pale World is locked down! She’ll die here!”
“How can that be!” Shen Ye said.
He looked at Xiao Mengyu.
Xiao Mengyu’s eyes were vacant, and she trembled non-stop, looking as if she was out of her mind, muttering intermittently:
“I… can’t move…”
Shen Ye was stunned.
She couldn’t go back, and she couldn’t move!
What should be done?
Should she be left to die here?
Absolutely not!
Chatelet’s voice suddenly rang out:
“She seems to be receiving an enormous amount of information, so her soul and body are frozen, preventing her from moving for now.”
“To save her life, you’ll have to escape with her!”
But trapped in this Pale World, where could they escape to?
Shen Ye gritted his teeth, grabbed Xiao Mengyu, and cried out:
“Door!”
A door quietly opened.
Shen Ye took her through the door, appearing directly in Iron Man’s safe house.
“How did you get here!”
Panda was startled.
“Her situation isn’t good, I brought her here to hide,” Shen Ye said.
“My situation isn’t good either!” Panda wailed.
Shen Ye looked out the window and saw a law-based monster continuously attacking the house.
“Relax, you only have one monster here, what are you afraid of!”
Shen Ye said.
“But all the monsters from your side have come!” Panda wailed again, even pulling out a rope to hang itself.
The surging blade force in mid-air gradually dissipated.
As soon as the monsters regained their ability to move, they indeed swooped down towards them.
Shen Ye frowned.
—What now?
“Great and supreme陛下, send me back, the monsters are coming!”
Panda cried loudly.
A line of small text appeared on the card in its hand:
“You need to hold them off for a bit.”
Panda’s eyes widened as it looked outside the house.
—The monsters had formed a circle, surrounding the safe house and casting spells.
“Shen Ye, quickly think of something—or use that blade technique of yours again, and chop them up fiercely!”
Panda said anxiously.
The safe house trembled continuously under attack.
Panda moved its hands, forming spell seals.
As soon as the safe house was breached by a spell, it immediately repaired it.
—This bought them some time.
As long as the safe house wasn’t completely destroyed, the monsters couldn’t get in!
Shen Ye cautiously put away his longsword, even placing it in his storage ring, before speaking:
“I used too many laws in my attack just now, which has alerted the deep existence of this world. I can’t use that move again.”
The laws on the sword came from that monster. If he alerted the other party now—
Once the laws were reclaimed by the other party, it would be over.
In the end.
Humanity still hadn’t obtained a complete law of its own.
—It all depended on whether Xiao Mengyu could succeed this time!
“Xiao Mengyu, how are you?”
Shen Ye asked.
Xiao Mengyu’s eyes were closed, and she showed no reaction.
Suddenly.
Outside the safe house.
A deafening voice rang out:
“Excuse me—which Saint has graced the Pale World with their presence?”
Shen Ye’s heart sank to the bottom.
This was the voice of the “King”!
There was no escaping now, what to do?
If he met it at this moment, a conflict was inevitable.
Then, in the future, how could it possibly give him the longsword again?
If he met it—
The future would be completely overturned!
Shen Ye looked at Xiao Mengyu.
No…
He had to send her back first.
Once he started fighting the “King”, both she and Panda would certainly die.
How to send her back?
Shen Ye’s mind raced, then he suddenly reached out and pressed down on Xiao Mengyu.
Lines of faint text immediately appeared:
“You activated ‘Passionate Comrade’.”
“You exchanged Xiao Mengyu’s ‘Sword Art Inheritance’ for your ‘Quick Noodle Eating Skill’.”
“The exchange is currently successful, but all destruction laws are gathered on her sword. You must obtain her sword for her to completely escape this incident!”
Sword…
Shen Ye looked at the divine sword on Xiao Mengyu’s back.
If he remembered correctly, he had helped Xiao Mengyu fuse this sword.
Divine swords have spirits.
Rather than forcibly taking the sword, it was better to talk to it.
It was now a weapon that concerned all of humanity.
Shen Ye took a deep breath and spoke:
“Divine Sword, oh Divine Sword, everything I do now is for Xiao Mengyu.”
“If you also wish to preserve her life, please follow me for now.”
“Once we return to the future, I will immediately return you to her.”
Before the words had settled.
The sword flew from Xiao Mengyu’s back and gently landed in Shen Ye’s hand.
It agreed!
Shen Ye was overjoyed and hurriedly said:
“Teacher!”
Swish—
Xiao Mengyu instantly vanished from in front of Shen Ye and Panda.
She returned to the future!
—With all the information she had received, she was back!
Shen Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the longsword in his hand.
Now there was only one problem.
—How to take this sword, and the destruction laws contained within it, back with him.
“Shen Ye!”
Panda let out a strange cry.
Shen Ye followed its指 and looked out the window.
He saw that all the monsters outside had stopped attacking and were scattering, as if welcoming something.
Countless stars descended upon the surface.
The “King” was coming!
Thud.
Panda sat on the ground, panting, and said:
“Mate, I gave my all, and now all my strength is used up.”
“Whether we live or die, just give me the word.”
The safe house was on the verge of collapse.
“It’s inconvenient for me to show myself—but we can get back alive—provided you stall for a little more time,” Shen Ye said.
“Big brother, I have no strength left,” Panda said.
“Use the tricks you usually use to charm girls.”
After saying that, Shen Ye placed his hand on the blade of the divine sword and softly said:
“Divine Sword, please let me hold the destruction laws for now. Once we return, I’ll give them back to you.”
Before the words had settled.
Along with his thoughts, lines of faint text immediately appeared:
“You activated the keyword ‘Mandala-Ouroboros’.”
“Beginning to absorb the destruction laws from the longsword.”
“You have obtained the permission of the Luoshen Sword.”
“You are the primal spirit of destruction.”
“You can fully absorb the destruction laws!”
“The entire process will take some time, please wait!”
All the small text retracted.
Shen Ye then took out the face mask, put it on, and waited quietly in place.
Across from him—
Panda was slightly stunned.
—How did this guy know he was a love saint-level existence?
It was true that one shouldn’t be too handsome.
Even in such a critical moment, others could spot his shining points!
Then he would try!
Panda climbed up from the ground, took out a megaphone, and spoke with a deep voice:
“I have been imprisoned for ten thousand years.”
“And then exiled from my homeland, drifting and wandering, before finally arriving in the Pale World.”
“Because my love for this land runs deep.”
All movement outside ceased.
The “King’s” voice followed:
“Love this world?”
“Heh heh,閣下 must be a Saint to speak of loving this world.”
“I have something I wish to ask閣下.”
“Please speak,” Panda said.
“Since my birth, I have worked here for millions of years. May I ask閣下, when can I leave this place?”
“Good question!”
Panda looked eagerly at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye transmitted telepathically:
“Stall.”
Panda immediately understood and said, “For this question, I need to consult the Saint’s Alliance. Please wait a few minutes.”
“…So be it. Please,閣下, give me a clear answer.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied.” Panda’s voice was deep, but excitement flickered across its face.
I’m fighting that monster!
—I’ve got it stalled!
Boom!!!
The safe house instantly shattered into dust, scattering with the strong wind.
The “King” looked at the two beings before it.
One wore a mask, obscuring their appearance, but exuded sword intent.
The other was black and white—
A strange mammal?
“Since we have to wait a few minutes, why don’t we have a sparring match, and let me experience how strong the being who created me truly is.”
The “King” said indifferently, assuming a defensive stance.
Panda was dumbfounded.
It stole a glance at Shen Ye.
But it saw Shen Ye’s expression shift, and a surge of dark flames suddenly erupted around him.
Success!
“Send Panda away.”
Shen Ye said.
Swish—
Panda immediately vanished.
Only Shen Ye remained, holding the divine sword.
“Before we fight, I have something to ask you.”
Shen Ye began.
“—You can actually absorb destruction? You’re no Saint!” The “King” observed him, saying indifferently.
“Of course I’m not a Saint,” Shen Ye said.
Xiao Mengyu was gone.
Panda had returned too.
Only he remained.
—As the wielder of destruction laws, sealed in this world, unable to return.
He still needed to do one more thing before he could leave.
But it was so curious—
“How about we exchange answers—you tell me where the destruction laws are summoned from,” Shen Ye said.
“And what can you tell me?” The “King” asked.
“The matter you care about most,” Shen Ye said.
“What do I care about most?” The “King” probed tentatively.
“When you can break free, leave this world, and gain freedom,” Shen Ye said.
The “King” fell silent.
Shen Ye’s mind raced, trying to guess all the other party’s actions and intentions.
It—
Wanted to break free.
And began summoning “destruction” way back in distant history.
It was resisting the Saints.
Shen Ye softened his tone and slowly said:
“Don’t worry, I have no conflict of interest with you.”
“And as you can see, I am a loyal ally of destruction. I won’t care about anything you do—”
“I rejoice in the appearance of a law in the myriad realms that does not belong to the Saints.”
“Why?”
The “King” stared at Shen Ye and asked, “The Saints enjoy everything in the myriad realms. Doesn’t this benefit tempt you?”
“I am not a Saint,” Shen Ye said.
Coming back to the point.
“If we are to exchange information, you must first give that answer,” the “King” said.
“Agreed.” Shen Ye smiled.
“Deal—now speak,” the “King” dropped its combat stance, folded its arms, and stared at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye, however, ignored its scrutiny and said with a serious expression:
“It’s almost impossible for you to break free from your cage, soar into the heavens, and no longer be bound by the Saints.”
“Unless one day, you meet the person with a blade—whose blade technique has never appeared in the myriad realms, and who also considers the Saints his enemies.”
“When you meet him, your freedom will come.”
The “King” was silent for several breaths, then raised its hand and formed a spell seal.
“Divination, prophecy, fate, causality.”
It uttered four words.
This indicated that its spell simultaneously used four powerful laws.
Buzz—
A series of faint sounds emanated from around the spell seal, gradually converging on the seal, beginning to emit an even clearer and more melodious sound.
This sound represented a successful glimpse into the future.
—The prediction was successful.
“Based on your answer, I attempted a prediction, which proves you were completely correct.”
A hint of almost imperceptible joy entered the “King’s” tone.
Shen Ye shrugged.
Nonsense.
You met me in the future, and killed Old John.
At that moment.
That was the moment you came into being.
Of course I knew.
“Now it’s your turn to speak—tell me the origin of destruction.”
Shen Ye said.
The “King” was silent for a breath.
Was it hesitating?
No, that’s not right.
Logically, it was an extremely proud existence, would it go back on its word?
Shen Ye unhesitatingly activated “Mandala-Ouroboros” again, transforming and absorbing all the destruction laws within him.
“I regret to say that I should indeed tell you, but this matter is too important for me to speak of.”
The “King” said with some apology.
“No worries,” Shen Ye said.
“No worries?”
“Yes.”
Shen Ye waved his hand at it, opening his mouth as if to say something.
Swish—
He vanished instantly.
Only the “King” remained standing in place.
“Ran away? How could I let you leave? Stay here!”
The “King” muttered softly, immediately employing various laws to construct a spell, attempting to capture the other party.
But—
A door opened.
A dozen powerful professionals suddenly appeared, simultaneously attacking to interrupt the “King’s” spell.
“Who are you?”
The “King” looked around, its expression cold.
King of Hearts yawned, stepped out from the crowd, and waved at the “King”:
“Hello, we are the team destined to fulfill our historical mission here.”
The “King” ignored them, turning instead to look at the void where Shen Ye had vanished.
It had been blocked for a moment.
Damn.
Now it was too late.
No spell could catch up.
—The other party had used some unknown law to completely disappear before its eyes.
And itself—
Currently, it couldn’t perceive the Saints’ strength.
No.
It couldn’t rashly leave the Pale World.
If the Saints discovered it and erased its intelligence—
All efforts would be in vain.
“You deserve to die.”
The “King” looked towards the mission card holders around it.
“That’s right, we deserve to die!” the card holders said in unison.
The “King” couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
Were these guys crazy?
…
Darkness.
In the darkness, faint flashes of light appeared as small characters:
“You activated ‘Mandala Chant’, returning all laws to ‘Destruction’.”
Boom—
Blazing dark flames appeared on the longsword.
Silence surrounded them.
Xiao Mengyu finally regained her consciousness, gripping the longsword in her hand.
“Peace.”
She uttered a word.
“Peace?” Shen Ye, Xu Xingke, and Panda said in unison.
“Yes, we have obtained the prime law. According to the true meaning of this law, a human law system with peace as its goal will be constructed,” Xiao Mengyu said.
“Why peace?” Shen Ye asked.
“Humans must love peace to construct this law system—this is what my inheritance tells me,” Xiao Mengyu said.
A moment of silence.
“Must it be peace?” Xu Xingke’s tone was a little unwilling, even slightly disappointed. “Can’t another system be constructed?”
“No, the prime law of the law chain only has affinity with ‘peace’. Nothing else works,” Xiao Mengyu said.
Shen Ye, Xu Xingke, and Panda all lowered their heads.
—It had to be said, it was a bit frustrating.
“No other prime laws?”
Panda asked.
“Possibly—but even with all our effort, we only got this one prime law, and that ‘King’ wouldn’t even reveal its origin,” Xu Xingke sighed.
No one could defeat that “King”.
At least not now.
“Peace…how boring.”
Panda muttered softly, voicing everyone’s thoughts.
“Wait a moment,” Shen Ye’s eyes flickered, and he pressed further, “How can humanity’s law system achieve this goal of peace?”
Hmm?
Xu Xingke and Panda looked up again.
That’s right.
You want peace, but what if others want to invade you?
Facing their expectant gazes, Xiao Mengyu slightly closed her eyes, as if deep in thought.
Everyone refrained from disturbing her.
—She must be looking up information.
In a moment.
Xiao Mengyu’s lips curled into a slight smile, and she softly said:
“My inheritance says—”
“When you can retaliate and destroy your enemies at any time, anywhere, peace is born.”
Another moment of silence.
Xu Xingke’s voice suddenly rang out:
“Good! Excellent!”
“I—love peace!”
